Let me tell you a story. There was a student who asked his teacher, what is love? The teacher said go into the field and bring me the most beautiful flower. The student returned with no flower at hand and said, “I found the most beautiful flower in the field but I didn't pick it up for I might find a better one, but when I returned to the place, it was gone.” We always look for the best in life. When we finally see it, we take it for granted and after some time start expecting a better one, not knowing that it's the best for us. . Abhijit Naskar
About This Quote

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. We should focus on what we already have and appreciate it rather than look for something better.
